Rate My Professor Judit Barroso

Barroso’s research specializes in the effects of cover crops on weed infestations, efficacy of harvest weed seed control in Pacific Northwest wheat systems, control of herbicide-resistant weeds through strategic tillage, herbicide resistance mechanisms, and industry collaborations for enhanced chemical weed control. Her recent peer-reviewed publications include “Cover cropping in dryland wheat systems of the U.S. Pacific Northwest: Biomass production, weed suppression, and soil water” (Agronomy Journal, 2025, in-press), “Russian thistle (Salsola tragus) ecology in wheat cropping systems of the Pacific Northwest” (Weed Science, 2024), “EPSPS gene amplification in a glyphosate-resistant population of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum) from Oregon” (Pest Management Science, 2024), “Herbicide resistance in Bromus spp.: a global review” (Weed Science, 2023), and “A hydrothermal model to predict Russian thistle (Salsola tragus) seedling emergence in the dryland of the Pacific Northwest (USA)” (Weed Science, 2024). She has also produced key extension publications such as “Integrated Management of Feral Rye in Winter Wheat” (PNW 660, 2025, in-press), “Italian Ryegrass Management in Inland Pacific Northwest Dryland Cropping Systems” (PNW 778, 2024), “Harvest Weed Seed Control: Applications for PNW Wheat Production Systems” (PNW 730, 2024), and “Russian Thistle: Management in a Wheat-Fallow Crop Rotation” (PNW 492, updated 2023). Through these contributions, Barroso supports wheat growers in managing resistant weeds like glyphosate-resistant Russian thistle, promoting sustainable practices that preserve environmental health and crop productivity.
